And we make it so difficult sometimes.
John 6:27 (ESV) 27 Do not work for the food that perishes, but for the food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give to you. For on him God the Father has set his seal.”
John 6.28 They immediately wanted the recipe! Tell us then what we must do in order to accomplish God’s work?
John 6.29 This is the work of God; your belief in the One whom he has sent! (Even your ability to believe is God’s work! Realizing your authentic sonship on exhibit in Jesus is God’s gift to you and cannot be earned! How can your labor compete with what God’s rest celebrates as complete!) The mirror translation
When I read this this morning all I can think about is the people out there that do all these things so they can have eternal life they go to church they read in their Bible every single day they pray all the time they have rituals they have boxes that they check off.
All you have to do is believe and rest in him. There’s nothing wrong with doing all the things that I said but make sure you’re doing it for the right reasons. Do it because of your sonship not because you have to.
Colossians 3:1-3 (ESV)
1 If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. 2 Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. 3 For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.
